After eight years of not touring or releasing records, the original lineup of Limp Bizkit has announced they are ready to get back together.But much has changed since the band last performed together. The angst-filled rap-rock of the ‘90s and early 2000s has long faded in favor of indie and emo groups.Even Bizkit’s later releases showed signs of fading interest. The band reached the peak of its success in 2001, selling 14 million records. They were also a frequent guest on “MTV’s Total Request Live,” with videos like “Nookie” and “Faith” scoring top slots for several consecutive weeks.But by the time they released 2005’s “The Unquestionable Truth (Part 1),” without original guitarist Wes Borland, the band lacked advertising pushes and only sold 37,000 copies in the first week.So why are they getting back together? According to frontman Fred Durst, “Regardless of where our separate paths have taken us, we recognize there is a powerful and unique energy with this particular group of people we have not found anywhere else. This is why Limp Bizkit is back.”So much for doing it all for the Nookie.But who knows? A Limp Bizkit reunion has the potential to draw some attention from at least initial fans who remember them from their heyday. Tom Beaujour, editor in chief of metal magazine Revolver, told RollingStone.com that the successful “comebacks” of other older stars may give Bizkit a chance.”It depends if the statute of limitations is up on Limp Bizkit being the most hated band ever,” he said. “Like, is it acceptable to like them? It’s okay for people to like Poison and Warrant again. Bret Michaels is a TV star. Is it okay to like Limp Bizkit again? I don’t know. Hopefully for them it is.”—Contact Ben Bourgeios at [email protected]
